Second death following a fall from a building in a matter of hours

At around 8.15, a resident - a retired Guardia Civil officer - saw a man lying in a parking area at the building on C. Pere Vaquer Ramis. He immediately called the emergency services. Medics could do no more than pronounce the man dead at the scene.

It would appear that he had fallen some ten metres. The Guardia are seeking to clarify if the fall was accidental.

Ángel H. was well known in the area and much liked. Before retiring, he had been a chef at the Hotel Santa Lucia in Palmanova for many years.

This fatality was only hours after an 82-year-old man lost his life when he fell at an apartment building in Cala Millor.
